So it's the start of my trip! I made it from Shannon to Heathrow anyway. It was very grey and wet looking in Shannon and the Ryanair flight to Gatwick was delayed so I was wondering would there be any problems on my flight but- thankfully all was good, left a few minutes late, but can't complain!! One child near me was squealing with delight when the engines started roaring down the runway!!
As usual, I didn't sleep on the plane- kept my eyes shut though, hoping for the best! Even though the journey is only starting, I'm absolutely wrecked!! Thanks to Mam, Dad, Shell, Shaun, Dymphna, Padraig and Cliona for providing the entertainment which kept me up all night!!
Had to transfer to Terminal 5 from the plane. One woman held up the whole show trying to get her three kids, about 10 bags and a buggy on the shuttle bus. They wouldn't give her the buggy for some reason and she was upset. She stood near me and she was saying she wouldn't be able to carry all the stuff and her child wouldn't be able to walk that much. I was thinking of helping her for good karma and all that. Then a few minutes later, she muttered that all the drugs were in with the buggy. I presume she meant medication or something- but I wasn't taking any chances!! She got no help from me this time!
Terminal 5 closes for the night so I couldn't stay there. After a bus to Terminal 5 and back again I'm in terminal 1 at the moment and apparently I can stay here somewhere overnight and then at 5am I'll be able to get the bus back to Terminal 5. Hopefully that all goes according to plan and they won't kick me out at some unearthly hour of the morning!! You'll find out tomorrow how I get on!!
